When you stop appreciating people and things in your life, they eventually just go away. When you truly appreciate someone or something, really appreciate without desperation or fear of loss, you are more likely to keep it around longer.
So many people think of improving their personal lives, but when asked how they are improving LIFE around them, they often have to think long and hard for the answer. If everybody thought about how they were making the world around them a better place, quite simply, the world would…
I recently returned from a trip a trip to the Caribbean with a head cold and excruciating back pain (something I’ve never dealt with before). I have come to the conclusion the health maladies were likely due to my out-of-balance body health for the past month (lazy diet and no…
You can laugh or cry. Which one FEELS better? If you find yourself contemplating the choice of laughter or tears, always choose to laugh.

If you ask, you WILL receive. Experiencing the silence to hear just how it will come to you is just as important as the asking. Prayer sends your concerns and requests to the Universe. Meditation allows you to “hear” the answer.
